The abrupt Mideast conflict has given rise to the upsurge in oil prices, which could cast a material negative impact on the earnings of China's aviation industry in the short term, UBS opined in a report.

The broker's sensitivity analysis showed that if oil prices rise to USD70/ bbl, it is expected that the earnings of the three major Chinese airlines in 2026 will be negatively impacted by 40-60%. Coupled with valuations higher than peers, Chinese airlines face downside pressure. The Sell rating was maintained for AIR CHINA (00753.HK) and CHINA EAST AIR (00670.HK).
